White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood admits she might not be perfect, but what you see is what you get.
The Bafta-winning actress - who will play George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd in a new series of films based on each member of The Beatles - has battled huge personal struggles to reach the top of her profession.
And while she revels in her success the Stockport-born starlet says Hollywood left her wanting to throw up.
Aimee, 31, told Harper's Bazaar UK: "I find LA emotionally bulimic, and I say that as an ex-bulimic. It is this super-sized adventure where everyone's talking about you all the time and you have to talk about yourself all the time. And then I leave, and I want to throw it all up.'
Tonight she will receive the TV actress gong at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards 2025.
Appearing on one of a suite of covers for the December/January issue of the fashion, culture, and beauty Bible, Aimee talks about getting under the skin of her characters, growing in confidence, and wanting to do more writing.
And she reveals: "Before (season 3 of The White Lotus) came out, everyone told me my life was going to change because the show is American, and it's so big.
"I was in New York right before the final episode and people were literally screaming at me in the street saying, 'Say it isn't you! Tell me you don't die!'"
Aimee has been open about her struggles with body image revealing she has suffered with body dysmorphia her entire life.
She said: "Acting has always been a safe place for me to work out my feelings. I think for that reason a role will hit me in the heart, in the gut.
"I was really lucky to have this fantastic teacher at RADA who would always say, 'Just tell the truth. All of the other stuff will come, but just tell the truth'. I'm not sure I know any other way to act."
And despite being in the suffocating environment of Tinseltown Aimee said her friends and family back home in Manchester will always keep her grounded.
She said: "I need to do rituals to shed a character. But if I say something like that to my mum and her friends, they'll reply, "Oi, she's been in London for a bit too long, f*cking hell..."'
